The temperature in the Soyuz capsule docked at the International Space Station has risen but the crew is not in danger, the Russian space agency said on December 16. Roskosmos reported that the temperature inside the module had increased but did not exceed 30 degrees Celsius.

The leak raised questions about whether the spacecraft will be able to return to Earth with a crew of three in March as planned. To read the original story from RFE/RL's Russian Service, click here.
